Supervises a staff of 14 research scientists, hatchery technicians, and support staff. Ongoing research studies include evaluations of various strains of whirling disease resistant rainbow trout for hatchery production re-establishment in the wild.    Areas of Interest/Expertise My research interest areas include salmonid reproduction and strain selection, salmonid disease studies, the economic impacts of fisheries in Colorado, and angler creel and mail-in surveys.  Publications Erickson, T.A., G.J.
